Seasonal irrigation drawdowns at some north central reservoirs have caused boat ramp closures at two Nebraska Game and Parks state recreation areas.
At Calamus Reservoir SRA, the Valley View Flat boat ramp is closed. Boaters can still use Homestead Knolls, Buckshot Bay and Nunda Shoal boat ramps.
At Sherman Reservoir SRA, the Thunder Bay west boat lane, Trail 10 and Trail 8 boat ramps are closed. Thunder Bay east lane and boat ramps at Marina Bay and Trade Winds Marina are still accessible. Those with large boats, such as pontoons, are encouraged to use Marina Bay boat ramp.
Boaters should use their best judgment when launching at either Calamus or Sherman.
The two reservoirs are primary used for irrigation, prompting nearly annual closures of the ramps as water levels drop.
